Periodontal health status of abutment teeth supporting two different types of overdentures

Eighteen overdenture patients were included in this study. The patients were equally divided into two main groups. Group I received m and ibular conventional overdentures without any kind of attachments, while group II received m and ibular overdentures attached to the retained abutments with zest anchor connector. Periodontal health status of the abutments was evaluated using st and ardized periodontal indices.
